'I'residdev, repre. sentative, REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S, Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, wR = TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1929 aad > MAKING LIFE MORE' LIVABLE = The assertion that the people of today are motor mad, that they are sorely afflicted with "acute motoritis" may be a clever one, but aside from mere cleverness in phrasing it does not carry a great deal of weight, It may be held that just as people were once "bike crazy", so they have now gone wild over the automobile, but this would not be true. In a great measure the bicycle was given up by people who took to the motor car as a more effective means of getting about; at least those who could afford it did so. And just as they used the two-wheeled vehicle to expedite the business of their day, so these persons are, in this day, using the motor car for many things besides pleasure rides. For many people the ownership of an automobile is vastly more important than that; it means that they can carry on with more dispatch the business of the day. The development of the automobile and its increasing use is only one more indication " that our standard of living has been raised. People know what they want, and, even at the cost of a little hardship, if this is neces- sary, they are going to have it.. They may call this "motoritis", if they like, but the point is that it is a good thing to have, and that it will endure until something even bet- ter than the automobile makes its appear- ance, It will probably be a long time before that time comes, but when it does, then the people of that day will be found going in for the new invention. But for the present age, it is sufficient to know that one of the chief functions of the automobile is to make life more livable, and anything which can accom- plish that fills a very definite place in the life of the world. TECHNICAL SCHOOL SITE SETTLED The City Council at last night's meeting definitely settled the question of the tech- nical school site by passing the financing by-law on the basis requested by the board of education. There was no opposition from members of the council to the technical school proposal although several members expressed them- selves quite strongly with reference to the proposal to build the new school as an addi- tion to the collegiate institute building. Alderman 8. H. Jackson, who has given some thought to the matter, made the alter- native suggestion that the present Centre Public School be used for technical school purposes and that three new smaller schools be erected to serve the north-west and south-west wards. On the face of it this proposal might seem to have some merit, but it was pointed out by Alderman Hart and others that the Centre School building was entirely unsuit- ed for technical school purposes as required by the regulations and its use would prob- ably involve a very large outlay for changes, and after those changes had been made there would be very grave doubt as to whether the governments would pass the grants as they would in the case of a new building. ; It is perhaps generally admitted today that the present location of the collegiate is mot ideal and if it were practicable to change the site to one more nearly central, . | we have mo doubt the board of education would do so. But we are equally sure that the large majority of ratepayers would de- | "cline to approve of a change in policy mow when the expense involved in erecting a mew ftechmical school apart from the col- legate institute building would be at least $150,000 in excess of the present proposed cost of £280,000, of which about $160,000 will have to be paid by the city. It is all very well to find fault with the proposal of the board, but we have yet to hear any reasonably satisfactory alternative put forward by those who oppose the plan, And after all, while central locations are al- ways desirable for an institution such as a technical school or collegiate institute, it should be remembered that in the city of, Toronto pupils have to go much longer dis- tances to the technical schools in that city than any Oshawa pupils will have to travel, What we lack in Oshawa is an adequate transportation system, and when that is provided the inconvenience that is now felt by many pupils attending the collegiate will be very greatly lessened, We sincerely hope the city council will not lose sight of this important matter, When the Chamber of Commerce campaign was in progress a year ago a questionnaire was distributed among collegiate pupils and among other questions they were asked to express their opinions as to Oshawa's most pressing need, A very large number replied "better transportation service," We do not think the council of 1929 or the citizens will have cause to regret the action taken last night in co-operating with the board of education in providing a fully modern technical school in combination with the collegiate institute at a minimum cost to the ratepayers. « Other Editors' Comment -- THE RELIGION OF KING GEORGE (The New Outlook) A recent article in the Christian Herald discusses the religion of King George, and does so in very sympathetic fashion. Of course the King is a churchman, Arch- bishops baptized him, confirmed him, married him, and annointed him. The law itself im- poses his religion upon him, and he must swear that he is a "faithful Protestant" be- fore he can be crowned King, And while in England he is necessarily an Anglican, yet in Scotland he is a good Presbyterian. 1s this religion then merely a matter of form? The article to which we refer declares most posi- tively that this is not the case. When a boy he promised his mother that he would read the Bible every day and he has kept his promise. The King and Queen are rather conservative in many respects, and they have little use for jazz, bobbed hair, and absurdi- ties in dress. And they are firm in their determination to oppose divorce and scandal. This is the man who now faces a most seri- ous illness, and for whom prayers are being offered in nearly every country in the world. Britain has had some poor kings, but she has no reason to be ashamed of the man who now sits on the throne. EDITORIAL NOTES The only satsfactory reducing exercise consists in opening the mouth and saying: "No more, thank you." : Usually you can tell by looking at & man whether he's the type that worries about a coal strike in August. "Eventually man will solve the problem of distribution." It will be nice if he can do it with the weather. Most of the wildcat stock is sold to people who don't count their change because: they're afraid to seem rude. Once the groom got careless about shav- ing after the honeymoon, but now it's time to get married again by the time he needs a shave. An old-timer, slightly the worse for wear, was discovered in a downtown lunch the other evening trying to work out a cross- word puzzle on a waffle. Bit of Verse INJUNCTION When this quick body Shall come to die I would be planted Where few bodies lie. Shorn of my dreams then, And ignorant still, Let me be buried In the breast of a hill. Fling in the sweet mould, Turn back the sod, And with indifference Fill me, O God. ! By A. E. Coppard, From the Spectator, London. LN By James W. Barton, M.D. PREVENTING GALL STONES One of the little points that used to bother me as a student was why the gall bladder was so small, As it was meant to carry a reserve of bile, why wasn't it a good size because the amount of bile needed in twenty-four hours would fill the gall bladder many times? = And then I learned that the gall bladder was fashioned with tucks, like the intestine, which absorbed the water from the bile and left the solid portions, Thus the gall bladder can' store from ten to twenty times as much as otherwise would be possible, Or as Dr, Lester Whitaker tells us "it is like pressing hay into bales before putting it in the barn; a smaller barn is required," Now when your stomach empties its contents into intestine the gall bladder empties its contents--the hile --in on this food in order to help digest it, or put it into condition to be absorbed from the small intestine by the blood, Various things can interfere with the emptying of the gall bladder and one of these is any emotional dis turbance such as fear or anxiety. You know that a good appetizing meal can be suddenly spoiled for you by some emotional disturbance. You don't want to eat; in fact you can't eat, Now if this bile does not get emp- tied from gall bladder owing to these emotional disturbances, the bile be- comes more and more of a thick solid nature and tends to the forma- tion of gall stones. Overeating, by disturbing the natu- ral processes of digestion, interferes with or prevents the emptying of the gall bladder and helps to thicken up e. Added to this often is some infec- tion from teeth or tonsils which in- flames the walls of the gall bladder and prevents it from emptying prop- erly. So common has the sluggish liver and gall bladder become that many individuals are now using a fine rub- ber tube which they put down the throat and it goes past stomach to beginning of small intestine. Epsom salts is poured down this and in a few minutes the individual lies down with head lower than body, and the Epsom salts with bile, is drained out. However not eating much when mentally disturbed, cutting down on rich foods such as pork, tongue, goose, duck, pastry and alcohol, and giving the liver and gall bladder re- gular squeezing by bending or deep breathing exercises, will prevent dis turbances in the gall bladder.
